Just as desirable as an E30 M3 to many enthusiasts today, restoring a 190E 2.3-16 or 2.5-16 has run into a genuine roadblock in recent years: Mercedes no longer makes the radiator. Development of this replacement began when a Mercedes specialty workshop reached out to CSF after struggling to source a quality option since the originals were discontinued, and CSF was able to procure an original unit to reverse-engineer a proper All-Aluminum OEM+ version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe factory radiator used a plastic tank with a single-row aluminium core, generally considered good quality and durable at the time, but heat exchanger technology has progressed significantly since these cars were built. CSF's replacement steps up to a 2-row, 42mm aluminium core, significantly increasing coolant volume and heat dissipation capability. CSF's proprietary B-Tube technology increases heat transfer efficiency by approximately 15% over conventional oval welded tubes, and combined with nearly double the number of cooling fins and tubes compared to the OEM unit, this radiator outperforms the factory design by a significant margin. Super-efficient multi-louvered fins maximise airflow through the core, and 100% all-aluminium TIG-welded construction genuinely improves durability and longevity for hard driving conditions. It mounts in the factory location and requires no modifications or cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorks with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory air conditioning system.
